    There are all kinds of great organizations out there - St. Vincent-de-Paul, etc. - that do Christmas baskets and so forth. I'm in Toronto, so I'm not sure about your local papers, but the Toronto Star always has a toy drive for local kids. Check with the local provincial one to see how to sign up.

    Sorry to hear you're in a bind. But I'm glad you're thinking ahead and being proactive - there will be registration required, and so forth, I'm sure, so sooner is better than later.

    Good luck! Check out the "frugal living" wiki on here in the Forums section, there are some great ideas in there that may be of help to you.

    Check with the Christmas Bureau or the Salvation Army. The SA will be able to direct you to the appropriate resources if they are not running a program of their own. You will need to act quickly though because many of the programs have registration deadlines. Hope things change for tge better soon.
